Firefox is unable to navigate on Windows 7 when firefox.exe is running the system of custom files

I have a custom file system (for example, I have the code). It translates queries the file system to the network requests at the block level (not at the level of the file system as MUP). When firefox is hosted on this file system volume, it can be launched, but he is unable to browse any websites. As well as firefox.exe all DLLs and configuration files are also on this custom FS volume. Another fact to note, is that this omission is seen with all active network applications hosted on custom FS volume. But many other applications such as Winzip, Adobe Reader work very well.
I tried following things but unfortunately none have given fruitful results or clues as to why firefox fails.
1 disable the firewall of Windows (shut down the firewall altogether service)
2. disable Windows 7 UAC
3 reset Winsock using Netsh
4. start firefox with the admin account
Dig deeper:
I used IrpTracker to find the failure. Firefox fails to create the socket. The socket() call goes to winsock and winsock is in turn NtCreate on '\Device\AFD '. This create call will fail leading to the failure of the socket. However, this happens not when firefox is run from the local disk based volumes with NTFS or FAT.
Winsock network event monitor confirms it. It shows: call failed with the status code returned 0xC0000225 (STATUS_NOT_FOUND)
Please let me know if anyone out there has clues.

  • Asian locale?  Installed Acrobat XI for Windows, but when I try to run the program, it happens in some Asian locales - can not read anything!

    Hello

    I am setting up a new laptop and downloaded Acrobat Pro XI for Windows computer.  Download and install seemed to go fine, but when I try to run the program, it is coming in a few other locales (not French_FR).  What should I do to configure the program for the locale in the United States?

    (running Setup 3 times (to fix, modify, uninstall/reinstall), but so far nothing has worked.)  Even after uninstalling/reinstalling (where I deselected the local Korean), the program still continues to flow upwards in an alternate reality!

    Hello
    I hope someone can help me. I am unable to boot into windows vista 32-bit, so I downloaded the vista recovery disk and get an oxo error code what it means (thanks in advance)?

    You don't give any info on what was the original problem with the computer.

    You have set the Bios Setup to boot from the CD/DVD drive?

    At startup, it will say press F2 or delete key to go into Bios/Setup, or maybe F12 to go to the Start Menu.

    And have you tried also to tap F8 at startup and choose Safe Mode from the list of Boot Options?

    Use up arrow key to do this, press on enter.

    Browse your Hard Drive manufacturer's website, download software from here and test your hard drive for errors.

    See you soon.

  • Second firefox.exe appearing in the process in Windows Task Manager...

    Hi all!

    I started facing this problem a few days ago and do not know what is the cause:

    In my Windows Task Manager, there are two firefox.exe that appear under the process (under Applications, Firefox only appears once). I used to complete the process to close each of the firefox.exe that appear and the result was special. Depending on whether one I finish, either the window closes completely as well as all tabs or hangs the tab that is currently open and I get the message: "bad new first: this tab broke down."

    I scanned my computer with AVG for viruses and everything was clean back. I've also scanned with ESET for malware and nothing was found.

    Any idea what I can do to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

  • App, opening a file via windows shell commands: "a device attached to the system does not work.

    Hello!

    I hope that someone here will be able to throw some lights on my question, if I post this is the wrong place please let me know because I was directed here (which forum? ). OK, I support and develop custom applications. An older application especially written in Delphi allows users to attached documents (pdf, jpg, txt, etc.) to the records of equipment in a data base. Later users can view these records of equipment and press a button to display the document.

    When the user presses the button to view the document, the application uses the folder variable to save the document to the temporary path and then asks windows via a shell command to open the file. The appeal of Delphi for windows used is the following:

    ShellExecute (GetDesktopWindow, 'open', PChar (TempFile), ",", SW_SHOWNORMAL);

    Normally this process works very well, we have had no problems so far. On a single computer (windows xp pro with Service Pack 3) belonging to a client, instead of opening the file, windows returns the system 31 error and the message ""a device attached to the system is not functioning. ". is displayed.

    * If I navigate to the location where the file is stored on the disk and try to open it, software adobe reader opens the file correctly.

    * I found some suggestions that the file extension is associated properly. PDF associated with Notepad, I changed, and the application could ask windows to open the file very well. Open the file from the location on the work of disc as well. Change the file for adobe and the problem persisted.

    * I reinstalled adobe reader software, but also a previous version of adobe and the problem persisted.

    * The application doesn't have any problem asking other files opened, only those associated with adobe reader on this same machine. The problem does not exist on other machines.

    That about sums up the problem. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    It was determined that the version of adobe reader was at fault.

  • When you try to restore the system using the system image, Windows 7 does not find the USB HDD.

    I have 3 computers backed up with their images of system on an external USB drive.

    However, when you try to restore a computer using system image, Windows 7 fails to find the USB HDD.

    I think it would be probably due to the fact that the WindowsImageBackup folder is probably not in the right place or a superfluous folder. Here's an example of how my disk backup has arranged record...

    Root for example E: /.

    -Computer #1

    - WindowsImageBackup
    -ComputerName #1

    -202348 backup 2016-05-29

    -Catalogue

    -SPPMetadataCache

    -MediaID (file)

    -Computer #2

    - WindowsImageBackup 
    -ComputerName #2

    -202348 backup 2016-05-29

    -Catalogue

    -SPPMetadataCache

    -MediaID (file)

    -Computer #3
    - WindowsImageBackup
    -ComputerName #3

    -202348 backup 2016-05-29

    -Catalogue

    -SPPMetadataCache

    -MediaID (file)

    I realize that the WindowsImageBackup folder should be at the origin, so I moved this computer folder #1 a less E:\

    However, restoration is unable to find it and can't even see the USB HDD.

    Can anyone offer advice on what I can hurt?

  • Windows Explorer crashes or resets whenever open the system properties, among other things

    So, recently, I had one set of questions arise in windows seven, apparently at random. It started to happen when I disabled it Internet Explorer (which I had reactivated it after that I saw coming problems) and uninstall my old antivirus (AVG Free). I also installed Windows updates not too long ago (after a long period of leave it turned off). I think it was about a week and a half ago or not.

    First of all, I noticed that the Windows Photo Viewer launches (even with the live Gallery, have not really tried the other windows live applications). After an investigation, I noticed that the dllhost.exe process would start up when I would try to launch the photo viewer, but would end not too long after. Apparently, I Live Gallery to run at startup (with anything other than HP related; it is as well as the laptop I use), but it doesn't seem to work in this case.
    Second, most of my programs installed (Mumble, the pitcher in the League of legends, steam, Skype, among other things) suddenly had to be run in compatibility mode for Windows 7... in Windows 7. Otherwise they don't start/stop working and other. Obviously, this is not good. I have not explored the question too, it's all I have on it.
    Third, whenever I open the System Properties Windows, either through my computer > properties or control panel, windows Explorer stops and restarts. Only this single window.
    I tried running sfc, who gave no results after a reboot (without reset my start ORB custom). A second performance immediately after the said nothing was wrong. I ran windows in safe mode, which seemed to have solved the issue of windows Explorer (not too sure Photo Gallery, because it cannot be run in safe mode). Since nothing seemed wrong then, I tried to run in clean boot mode, brings the issue of Explorer back, but solved the problem of Windors and Live Gallery Photo Viewer. I tried many restored system (a restore before windows update has solved my problem of Photo Viewer, but this restore point has long been lost at the time where this all started to happen all together). On a side note, I got a voip program, Mumble, to run correctly after all this happens, if I reinstall, repair or run the program in compatibility mode again.
    I spent my time recently trying to understand the issue of windows Explorer, and everything that I had going on right now is that it might have something to do with ntdll.dll
    . Here is the report of the accident event viewer and reboot:

  • Firefox.exe 2 running in background all the time I open Firefox

    Whenever I open Firefox, there are two firefox.exe running the bottom everytime I open the browser. Whenever I try to close the other, it blocks all tabs that are on the browser, and whenever I have reload the tabs, it appears again.

    I've scanned my computer several times with several antivirus, but there was no virus found. I also disabled the plugins that I thought the question was and rested Firefox, but he was always there. I restarted my computer, no luck in doing so. Uninstall and reinstall of Firefox has not even do the trick either.

    The dual process of sky-rocket my RAM and CPU and it starts to get boring. Help, please! I appreciate any cooperation!

    This could indicate that your Firefox uses a new feature 'multiprocessing '.

    E10s

    One of the changes in Firefox 48 + title is e10s, separating the process of browser interface process page content. The performance impact of this can vary a lot between systems: many users find more quickly, some are slower, for many, it's neutral. It is probably a bit more memory than if everything runs in a single process firefox.exe usage.

    Are you using e10s?

    You can check if you have this feature enabled as follows. Either:

    • button '3-bar' menu > '? ' button > Troubleshooting Information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table on the page, find the line "Multiprocess Windows" and see if the number on the left side of the fraction is greater than zero. If so, you are using e10s.

    If you use e10s:

    If you think that Firefox is not performing or now uses an unreasonable amount of resources, you can assess whether e10s is causing this problem by turning it off as follows:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste the cars and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 to switch the value from true to false

    Note: the exact name of this preference may vary, but it will start by browser.tabs.remote.autostart

    On your next startup of Firefox, it must be run in the traditional way. Any difference?
